Stanford guard Anthony Brown netted 24 points Sunday, leading the Cardinal to a stunning 82-80 Pac-12 men’s basketball win over the University of Oregon at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.

It was the third consecutive loss for the Ducks (13-3 overall, 1-3 Pac-12), and the win gave Stanford a split in its two-game conference trip to the Beaver State.

Chasson Randle added 23 points for the Cardinal (10-5 overall, 1-2 Pac-12), who chalked up their second win over a ranked team this season, the first time Stanford has done that since 2009.

Mike Moser paced the Ducks with 24 points.

Stanford held a 41-37 halftime lead and never trailed in the second half. However, the Ducks came close when Moser hit three 3-pointers that pulled Oregon to within 64-62 with 11:38 remaining in the second half.

Oregon pulled to within 77-74 on a jump shot by Jonathan Loyd with 2:12 left, but Brown answered with a long range jumper. The Ducks had two chances to tie the game in the final eight seconds, but Loyd missed a jumper and Dominic Artis had a layup rim out as time expired.

Randle, who popped in 30 points against Oregon State, was 8 of 14 from the field. Dwight Powell added 14 points and six assists for Stanford. Jason Calliste and Damyean Dotson added 12 and 10 points, respectively, for the Ducks.

Oregon opened the season with a 13-game winning streak, but hasn’t won since an overtime triumph over Utah on Jan. 2. The Ducks lost to No. 15 Colorado and California before falling to the Cardinal.

The Cardinal return home for a Wednesday night Pac-12 contest against Washington State. Tip off is at 8 p.m.
